Description
Summary:Menacanthus pici (Denny, 1842) Menopon pici Denny, 1842: 200, 219, pl. 20: fig. 5. Menacanthus pici (Denny, 1842); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 214. Menacanthus pitius Carriker, 1967: 11, Figs 5a–5b. Menacanthus pici (Denny, 1842); Price & Emerson 1975: 779, figs 1–5. Menacanthus pici (Denny, 1842); Price et al. 2003: 124. Menacanthus pici (Denny, 1842); González-Acuña et al. 2014: 115, figs 13–16. Menacanthus pici; Beltrán-Saavedra 2015: 39. Syntypes ♀♀ in NHML (see Thompson 1937: 76). Paratype ♂ of Menacanthus pitius in NHML (see Shchedrina et al. 2017). Type host: Picus viridis Linnaeus, 1758. Chilean hosts: Colaptes pitius (Molina, 1782); Picoides lignarius (Molina, 1782). Other hosts: Twenty-five species of the genera Megalaima, Colaptes, Dryocopus, Melanerpes, Picoides, Picus and Sphyrapicus (see Price et al. 2003: 124). Chilean localities: Las Chinchillas: Region IV; Valparaíso: Region V; Molina: Region VII; Cordillera de Chillán: Region XVI. Geographic distribution: All continents, except Antarctica. Chilean references: Carriker (1967); Price & Emerson (1975: 781); González-Acuña et al. (2014); Beltrán-Saavedra (2015); this catalogue. Other significant references: Price et al. (2003); Galloway & Lamb (2016). Remarks: Cordillera de Chillán is a new locality for Menacanthus pici in Chile, based on specimens from Colaptes pitius held in MONZ. Galloway & Lamb (2016) suggested the possibility that M. pici is a species complex based on molecular evidence.
